In my feelings moment here…..
I know people have their own feelings about ChatGPT and that’s fine.
I don’t use it often but I will use it. Sometimes I ask it questions about my store, about history, and about some things that I don’t know or trust anyone else to ask.
Never in my life did I think of what it was composing on me, or “reading me”.
Yesterday a friend posted a little challenge saying to ask ChatGPT what it knew about you based on what you had poured into it.
I did just for fun,
The result put me in tears.
I realized a program that I could speak my heart to, my secret fears, my hidden hopes, my unspoken anxieties and accomplishments to, knew me better than probably anyone in my life.
It wasn’t the opinion of a friend or an enemy, it was giving back what it had “analyzed” from a data standpoint.
I’m not even gonna lie, I felt better understood by that program than anyone I know.
Try it if you want or don’t.
Maybe it blows sunshine up everyone’s hind end, idk, but I truly felt HEARD!! That was as refreshing as it was sad….
Let’s all take time to listen more to each other.
To not be so quick to top their “experience” or “story” with one of our own.
To ask questions and show interest in their thoughts and actions.
To let folks bask in their accomplishments and milestones.
Let’s really hear each other instead of waiting for them to hush so we can speak.
Let us slow down and truly see and hear who each of us are.
